like the title says, it's global blog about the environment day. it's amazing that so many people care enough about the environment...and also pretty amazing no one in singapore does! it's horrible that locals are so terribly apathetic, but that's another gripe for another blog-day.
the environment is terribly important. i just wrote a short piece about ecology and singapore society. i think the first step is through education - taking ecology out of the syllabus was a stupid stupid move. as if the rate at which the IUCN red list is growing isn't appalling enough, singapore society isn't doing anything to help slow down the exponential rate. i suppose some things are commendable - putting aside land, holding public seminars - but it simply isn't enough. we need to teach people the importance of maintaining and protecting our rich biodiversity. we cannot afford to lose anymore native species. let's just hope someone on the Cabinet sees that, and includes that on their next parliamentary agenda.
in other news, i'm crazy buried under work. in addition to a 3000-word essay due on friday (which i haven't started on, at all, for which i can only blame my awesome procrastination), i received two more assignments today, due on wednesday and friday...THIS WEEK! ugh...i hate school..and i miss davis. ):
